Chapter 2

"Thank God that's over!" sabi ni Madam Cath.

"I couldn't agree with you more. What a nightmare! "

Palabas na kami ng resto at nagmamadali na ako ng bonggang bongga para makalayo na sa mga taong hindi ko na gustong makita pa. It was the most awkward 3 hours in my life!

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako kikilos kanina. Xaiver pretends that he doesn't know me, so I pretended not to know him either. Akala ba nya sya lang ang may karapatang magka-memory gap?! But the thing is, he's doing a great job on that na para bang naniniwala na ako na hindi nya talaga ako kilala. O baka naman nagka-amnesia talaga sya? Malamang hindi, dahil nakikita ko ang recognition sa mga mata nya.

On the other hand, I think it's better that way. Deadma na lang. He's getting married at wala naman kaming magandang bagay na dapat pang pagusapan. He's part of my past and he will stay there forever.

"That'll be my last client meeting eeeevvveeerrr!!! itaga nyo yan sa bato!"

Despite of my tantrums, napangiti si boss.

"But you were great! I can't even imagine that you can behave like that. You've really made an impression with your over the top ideas. Except of course that collision. That's was a disaster! Muntik na ngang mahulog ang puso ko, akala ko i-d-drop na nila tayo. But still you were the hero of the day and I can't thank you enough."

Overall the meeting went great. Satisfied naman si social climber. Hindi lang pala satisfied, she was definitely impressed. I work best under pressure, at malala pa sa pressure cooker ang pinagdaanan ko kanina kaya ang tindi din kung gumana ang utak ko.

"Basta, last na yon. Maayos naman ang nagiging setup natin dati. May team na nag-c-client meeting. They talk to the client and they convey the ideas to me. Kelan ba ako pumapalpak sa ganong setup?"

"I know. But there will always be an exemption. This client is important. I even gave tome to be here in person." katulad ko, hindi din humaharap si Madam Cath sa client. Nag-m-manage lang sya behind her desk.

"I don't know what's so important about them. We have other elite clients like them. Hindi naman natin binibigyan sila ng importansya katulad nito."

"Yes they're big but not as big as the head of the Phoenix industries."

Nagmamay-ari ng Phoenix industries. Iyon ang pakilala ni madam Cath ay Mr. Xaiver Phoenix. Kelan pa naging Phoenix ang last name nya? Was that the name of his real father?

"A basta. No more client meetings for me." Especially with them. Kung pwede ko nga lang ipasa din sa ibang team itong project na to. Masabutahe nga para tanggalin ako sa project!

"Haaayyy.... bahala na... I just want to go home and relax! Pwede din na ilibre nyo ako ng starbucks. "

Napailing na lang sya.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon I mean." Pangising sabi ni Madam Cath. Ako lang ang natatanging empleyado na pwedeng pumasok ng 2pm. Wala e, ganyan talaga tayo kalakas sa may-ari ng kompanya. Close kami e.. hahahaha!

Hindi nakalusot ang pagiingit ko ng libre. We parted ways. Iniwan ko na sya. At ako naman iniisip ko kung saan ako nakapag-park. Kung minsan kasi kapag masyado akong na-stress, nagkakaroon ako ng temporary memory loss. I looked around and I can't see my car! Saan ko na naman ba iniwan yun? Hanggang bumalik sa akin yung mga pangyayari kaninang umaga.

Gusto kong ituktok na naman ang ulo ko! Oo nga pala! For possible towing nga pala ang kotse ko! NAMMMAANNN!!! Malamang na-tow na nga yon!

Now I need a ride home! Ayokong makipagsiksikan sa MRT at LRT baka paglabas ko don iba na mukha ko!
